Impermanence

If we can always keep impermanence in mind, we will vastly improve our day to day ability to perceive reality accurately:

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away."

-- Abraham Lincoln
